Super disappointing that Apple is STILL selling iMacs with just 8GB of RAM in 2023.
Super disappointing the M3 iMac can not be ordered with more than 24GB of RAM.
Super disappointing the upgrade from a 256GB SSD to a 2TB SSD will still set you back about $750.
My late 2013 iMac is obsolete. I need to replace it. I am worried that if I order an M3 iMac, that will mean I am a huge sucker.
Just skip the first year of a new model.
I’m still on my 2012 Macbook Pro, still does what I need it to do for home stuff, but I’ve been eyeballing a 15" Macbook Air just to run more up to date software that may help with work. I’d also need to find the right hub that connects all my peripherals with an SD card slot. The other thing holding me back is I still use the optical drive.
I bet all you want could be features of a yet to be seen “iMac Pro”, but that would cost more. If you buy a new iMac, you’re not a sucker, you just want an expensive thing.
Personally, I wouldn’t buy a just released model, but that’s me. I would be more than happy with a previous model M1 Mac.
Think about any M1 Mac. You will not believe the performance difference, I’m sure. About the RAM, you’ll need less with a modern computer equipped with an SSD.
Apple seems awfully quick to end-of-life their hardware these days, however. I would worry that if you bought an M1 machine, the clock would be ticking, and before you know it, you’d be seeing software whose minimum requirements were “M2 and above.”
By my own experience, and yours, a Mac can last 10 years. But yes, sadly, money is the limiting factor. I would get the latest and greatest I could afford, but me being me, I’d prefer a mac mini, or studio, and not whatever was just released.
